Mr. Okabe: No...that...that is not...I don't think that's really normal...but I know that there are contracts that are made...that's all I know... yeah. Because even for our... some of our positions... it's 89 days...but it depends on the department...on the need...you know if there's a need in the department...then they can extend and do the contracts...but it will go to Corp. Counsel to see if its legal or not to do...it's not something that...it wasn't deemed illegal. Mr. Robinson: So just...for the 89 day contracts...do they have accrual for seniority...do they have accrual for length of time for retirement. Mr. Okabe: No. Mr. Robinson: Do they have vacations days and sick leave days and...the ability to work in overtime like this contract does...or those are just specific to 89 days with eight hours a day for five days a week and then no time and service or other extensions for retirement. Mr. Okabe: I'm not sure...maybe you can ask Deputy Counsel in regards to that because...I think they do accrue some kind of benefits though right by working with the County. I don't know if they're exempt from all the...I don't know. Mr. Yoshimoto: That would depend upon the type or classification. I think Mr. Brilhante touched upon that the last time in this particular case I think...his representation was...was that this type of position allowed for benefits. Mr. Okabe: Yeah. Mr. Yoshimoto: But I do understand there are some positions that do not. Mr. Robinson: The 89 days would not allow for the benefits? Mr. Yoshimoto: That I don't know. Mr. Goodenow: Unless it got extended right...that's why it's 89 days... Mr. Yoshimoto: Right... right... yeah. Mr. Goodenow: Is my understanding...but I'm not a witness sorry. Anything else? I hope your throat is not from all the vog or the lays or oh my gosh. Mr. Okabe: I just went there...on the chopper this Saturday so...I'm pretty sure. 10
